Push-ups, along with bodyweight lunges and squats, are the best travel or exercise snacks. You can get very fit just doing these.

Yep! Infinite ways to make them harder or easier. So foundational.

I LOVE this!!!! Elderly people, men and women alike, are made to believe that they can't achieve fitness gains later in life. Great for you and your Dad for shattering that status quo!!

Great info. Push-ups are underrated as a longevity metric. The fact that you can scale them from a wall to a single arm makes them a lifetime exercise. No excuses, no equipment, no expiration date.

There are SO many ways to do a pushup. Last year, I taught my 74 yr old Dad to done with good form. It was knees on the floor etc. This year he can do 10 fully unassisted pushups!

Es una radiografía perfecta de lo que veo a diario en la consulta. La ansiedad y el estrés crónico no son solo procesos psicológicos; son un exceso de voltaje que la mente no sabe procesar y que la biología termina somatizando en el cuerpo ¡Excelente dosis de lucidez, doctora! Shalom a todos!
